Hydrocellular Dressings

Hydrocellular wound dressings are made up of soft, hydrophilic polyurethane foam which is about 6 millimeters thick, covered with a semipermeable polyurethane film. This film is moisture permeable but provides an effective barrier for wound exudate. Also it provides protection from micro-organisms passage from the back of the dressing. At HPFY, we offer a wide range hydrocellular dressings from top-selling manufacturers like Smith & Nephew and Mckesson.

How do Hydrocellular Foam Dressings work?

The layer of dressing that contacts the wound surface is covered with a perforated film specially designed to keep the dressing from adhering to granulating tissue. The foam layer is highly absorbent, and strike-through is prevented by the semipermeable film backing. The dressing, when applied to an exuding wound, absorbs the excess fluid while maintaining a moist wound healing environment that is conducive to wound healing.

Indications for using Hydrocellular Dressings

Hydrocellular foam dressings can be applied to a variety of wounds with limited depth and varying levels of exudates, including leg ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic, and pressure), surgical incisions, surgical excisions, minor burns, and donor sites.

A chronic wound can prove to be extremely difficult to heal for both the patient and the healthcare professional. These types of wounds can be stubborn and are often impacted by another physical malady such as diabetes or ischemia. ...
